This episode of Pool Player Podcast features one pocket player and author Tom Wirth. Tom's book, One Pocket, A Game of Controlled Aggression, is a great instruction guide to learn the game of one pocket.   

In this episode, we dive deep into Tom's motivations for writing the pool, his pool playing journey, and his thoughts on some of the best players of today and in the past. Tom is a teacher at heart and this episode provides some great advice for those looking to get into the game of one pocket.  

As part of this episode, I have bought an extra book from Tom that will go to one lucky listener. Simply go to YouTube and hit up the comments with the term "controlled aggression" and Tom will sign the book and ship it out to one lucky winner.

Welcome to Season 2 of Pool Player Podcast and I’m thrilled to start off this second season with a great young player out of South Dakota, Tanner Pruess. Tanner is a top amateur player and a threat in most any tournament he plays. Recently, he’s really made a name for himself as a pool instructor with a focus on process over outcomes. His boot camps and lessons come highly recommended and anyone who knows him speaks very highly of his character. All these reasons led to this interview and trying to get inside the head of this artistic South Dakotan. A multiple national champion in VNEA, Tanner’s style and insights are bound to appeal to pool players of all skill levels. Tanner is also a talented artist and you can check out his work at @TannerPruessArtist on Facebook. Don’t forget to like, share, and comment on this video. Commenting enters you into a drawing to win one of two books that Tanner recommends for conquering the mental game.    

With the launch of Season 2, I’ve made some changes to the Pool Player Podcast Patreon account. For anyone that signs up for the Patreon to support the podcast at any contribution level, you get access to a private Facebook group where I will be live streaming many of these interviews in raw, uncut format. In addition, certain tiers will allow you join in on the interviews in the “green room” or even get to meet one of your favorite professionals. Finally, I am now in a place where I’m seeking sponsors to grow the podcast. A corporate sponsorship starts at only $50/month and comes with your logo on each episode and an advertisement to be run during the episode. If you have a product or a service that you would like to promote, let’s talk so we can get it in front of the fastest growing pool and billiards podcast around.   I want to thank Josh Ramey from Bad Roll Inc. for the use of his photos in the thumbnails and social media promoting this episode. Bad Roll Inc., based out of Colorado, is doing some great things for the sport of pool so head on over to their Facebook page and give them a follow, like, and share.   T
